Biography

Colton Herta finished second in the 2018 Indy Lights championship behind Patricio O'Ward and third in 2017 behind Kyle Kaiser. Despite never winning a ladder championship, Herta's raw speed earned him an IndyCar ride where he became one of the youngest winners in series history. He is now pursuing an F1 career as a Cadillac F1 test driver.
